This expansion puts players in charge of powerful corporations, using cards and shared phases to raise oxygen, heat, and oceans while competing to make Mars livable.
Long Description:
Terraforming Mars: Ares Expansion is a fast-paced, card-driven strategy game where players take on the role of ambitious corporations working to make the Red Planet habitable. Using a shared phase system, everyone selects actions simultaneously, keeping turns quick while preserving meaningful choices. Players play project cards to raise global parameters like oxygen, temperature, and ocean coverage, unlocking new possibilities and scoring opportunities as Mars slowly transforms. Each decision balances long-term planning with short-term efficiency, as resources must be carefully managed to build engines, claim milestones, and earn awards. While all players contribute to the planet’s survival, only the corporation that best adapts, innovates, and times its strategies will emerge as the most influential force in humanity’s greatest planetary endeavor.
